So it "is"? Just to be clear?
Can someone not believe that Jesus physically rose from the dead and not be, in your view, any Satanic influence involved?
Of course.
The overwhelming majority of people in the world do not believe in the resurrection for very mundane reasons...
But let's say there was an argument that Satan encouraged the spread of Communism, and that Communism preventing Christianity from penetrating a person's society or family can be traced back to Communism... Well, that's an interesting argument. IDK. It's unproveable and entirely "out" in the theoretical land.
But I can see someone say something like that.
But this is an argument that would then be based on
the interconnectivity of a great many events, all of which can be influenced by God and also by evil spirits... Your typical occasionalism.
I'll discuss what that means with an occasionalist, but even this is speculative if we are not relying on the words of the Saints, so IDK. Why not just content oneself with what is obvious in the world for now, and know that such an influence could be at work, but the overwhelming majority of people simply do not believe in Christ's resurrection because they are not Christians and have not had the occasion to be Christians or to learn of it.
